WEST ORANGE, N.J., April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Almost any kind of exercise is healthy for the body, but when strenuous exercise is undertaken only sporadically with little preparation, then "watch your back," warns Kaliq Chang MD, an interventional pain specialist with Atlantic Spine Center. He says a certain level of fitness is needed to protect the spine and its corresponding parts from potentially life-altering trauma.

Key Points: 
  • "Long periods of intense physical activity on weekends [are] physically demanding, especially among unfit individuals, [which is why] weekend warriors may be at an increased risk of injury."
  • But lack of physical preparation is not the sole factor underlying the risks involved in weekend warrior syndrome, Dr. Chang adds.
  • Atlantic Spine Center is a nationally recognized leader for endoscopic spine surgery and pain management with several locations in NJ and NYC.

Validation, as defined by medical simulation experts, determines the degree to which the simulation is representative of the real-world scenario and achieves its intended purpose.

Key Points: 
  • Validation, as defined by medical simulation experts, determines the degree to which the simulation is representative of the real-world scenario and achieves its intended purpose.
  • Standard benchmarks published by the industry include demonstrating competency and proficiency in face, content, construct, concurrent and transfer validity.
  • "The academic rigor surrounding the PrecisionOS platform is truly impressive," says Dr. Richard Satava, Professor Emeritus of Surgery at the University of Washington and an early pioneer in developing simulation standards.
  • Multiple, independent trials published in medical journals confirm that participants using the PrecisionOS platform became better, more confident surgeons, leading to improved patient outcomes.
